Hi folks, I am wondering if there is a possibility to add a strikethrough icon to the compose window. I use strikethrough quite often and it is very inconvenient to go to the menu each time. I can find only addons for earlier versions of TB. Thanks

As stated in the question, messages older than 1000 days are not deleted (this is a POP server). This is on my Desktop which is my primary PC. I also have a laptop using Thunderbird with "Leave messages on server" but with neither option (Number of days or Until I delete them) checked. The purpose of the laptop settings is that since it is not my primary PC I don't want it to delete anything from the server.
I did quite a few searches and the closest thing I found was another user who had migrated to Thunderbird after using another mail client for years, and it sounded like after they installed Thunderbird, they imported their old emails from the old client and then began using Thunderbird. The explanation they got was that any emails that had not been downloaded from the server by Thunderbird would not have a download date in Thunderbird and would therefore not be subject to the "older than xxx days" setting. That scenario doesn't apply to me because I have been using Thunderbird exclusively for at least 5 years, so all emails on the server that are less than ~1825 days (5 x 365) were downloaded by Thunderbird. All emails older than 5 years have long since been deleted from the server manually.
Either I am misunderstanding the "For at most xxx days" setting or something is not working properly.

Hi,
I do like how I can change the toolbar buttons that Thunderbird shows when I open Thunderbird. That is, I other mouse button click on the toolbar and select "Customize." I have a panoply of buttons to choose from, to arrange as I wish on the toolbar.
But, when I am reading an email, the buttons I see on the top left of the email window are: "Reply, Forward, Archive, Junk, Delete, More" (in Settings, I have "'Open messages' set to 'in a new message window'."
I have not been able to find a similar "Customize" ability for the toolbar of the message window.
Is there such an ability?
The reason I ask... I'd like to have similar control over that toolbar to that I have on the other Thunderbird toolbars. But I cannot find the appropriate Customize option.
What am I missing?
thx.

I was able to change the color of the context menu (the menu you get when you either right click or click on a dropdown) and the color of the highlight/selection as shown in the attached screenshot.
The default color looks like it's black, and I'd like to change it to match the rest of my Arc-Dark gtk theme. Does anyone know the name of the CSS tag that controls the context menu border?
Here's what I have so far:
/* Context Menu */ menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem,popup > menu, popup > menuitem {background-color: #404552 !important;}
menuitem:hover, .menu-iconic:hover, .menuitem-iconic:hover {
border-radius: 0px !important; background-color: #5294E2 !important;
}

Windows 11; Thunderbird 115.10.1
I prefer to see only new messages in my Inbox. To that end, I've chosen the icon that says "Show only unread messages;" but it will not stay chosen. Every time I leave TB and come back I have to chose the icon again or see all the messages I've seen and reacted to before.
Is there a way to make the choice to see only unread messages and have it stay in use?

I've recently upgraded Thunderbird to 78.14.0 and Nostalgy to 3.4.2. Nostalgy is an essential add-on for me, but it's not working the same as in earlier versions, and I hope someone can help with these problems. Or should I ask Alain Frisch, the author of the add-on? 1. Using S to move (or C to copy) an email to a selected folder works when the email is closed (but highlighted in the Inbox or wherever) but no longer works when the email is open. Earlier versions worked when the email is open, and it's a huge drawback for me that it doesn't work that way now. Am I missing something? 2. The command G (go to the specified folder) does not appear at all when invoked from within an email. When the email is closed G provides the expected list of folders, but focus does NOT move to the selected folder. Again, am I missing something?
Grateful for any help.

I am running Thunderbird 115.10.1 on an up-to-date Windows 11 machine. I have 2 email accounts (VirginMedia and Gmai)l. When I look at the drop-down list from the top-level folders on these accounts the VirginMedia account does not offer "New Folder", but the Gmail account does. I can create new folders via the VirginMedia webmail, but not via Thunderbird. This is a problem which I have had for some months, coping with it by resorting to webmail.

Hi
Got an earlier version of Thunderbird at home (and sorted fine) but I'm trying to sort the view for folders and sub-folders to be all the same on my work PC i.e Sort By: Date, descending & unthreaded.
Apart from going through every folder/sub-folder, is there a quick way to set this in version 115.10.1 ?
Looked at online help/videos but they refer to older versions.

Hello. I'm curious if Thunderbird supports GReader or Fever API for connecting to external aggregator like FreshRSS or TT-RSS?
Examples of RSS Readers that support this are Newsflash, RSSGuard, so I'm curious if Thunderbird supports being just a rss client for an external rss aggregator?
Reason being - I read RSS on multiple devices, plus I keep my Thunderbird closed most times. I only open it when I want to read email or rss news. So I noticed that it sometimes misses some rss feeds when my laptop is closed (this is normal - more news get published while I'm not parsing them). That's why I have an external aggregator collect it and keep it all for me and I just access it with my other devices.
Can thunderbird do this? Thanks

When I activate a quick filter (like "Show only unread"), a count of the number of messages is added to the right end of the filter bar. This means all the buttons move to the left, so I have to move the cursor toggle it off again. This is incredibly annoying and unintuitive.
Is there a way to modify this behavior so that toggle buttons don't move when they're pressed?
